WESTWORLD is a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin, exploring a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged. Created for television by Jonathan Nolan (“Interstellar,” “The Dark Knight,” “Person of Interest”) and Lisa Joy (“Pushing Daisies,” “Burn Notice”), both of whom are executive producing and writing, with Nolan also directing, the series was inspired by the 1973 motion picture “Westworld,” written and directed by Michael Crichton.
《西部世界》 是一部關於人工智能和未來罪惡的黑暗奧德賽。 在那個世界裏，一切人類慾念，無論高尚或者墮落，都能得到盡情放縱。本劇由喬納森•諾蘭（《星際穿越》、《疑犯追蹤》、《蝙蝠俠：黑暗騎士》）和麗莎•喬伊（《靈指神探》、《火線警告》）共同創作，兩人還共同參與了執行製作和編劇，除此之外，諾蘭還擔當了部分執導工作。該劇的靈感來源是1973年由邁克爾•克萊頓編劇且執導的同名電影《西部世界》。
Co-creator Nolan explains, “Building on the incredibly evocative concept of the original film, we wanted to pose the question: If you could be completely immersed in a fantasy, one in which you could do whatever you wanted, would you discover things about yourself that you didn’t want to know?”
聯合主創諾蘭說：“基於同名電影中的一些發人深省的概念，我們想提出一個問題：如果有機會完全沉浸在一個奇幻世界裏——在這個世界一個人可以無所顧忌，爲所欲爲，那他覺得會不會發現一些連自己都羞愧於面對的特質？”
Co-creator Joy adds, “We also wanted to explore what it means to be human from the outside in – through the eyes of the ‘hosts’: the lifelike AI characters that are the main attractions of the park. It’s a meditation on consciousness – the blessing and the burden of it – beautifully portrayed by our remarkable cast.”
聯合主創喬伊補充道：“我們希望自外向內地探索‘人，生而爲人’的意義——通過‘接待員’的眼睛：這些活生生的、與人沒有兩樣的人工智能角色是公園的主要吸引力所在。這是關於‘意識’的深思——由意識帶來的福祉和負擔——並由我們出色的演員們生動地描繪了出來”。

In the WESTWORLD universe
西部世界的宇宙
Among WESTWORLD’s main players are: Dr. Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins), the brilliant, taciturn and complicated creative director, chief programmer and founder of Westworld, who has an uncompromising creative vision for the park. The Man in Black (Ed Harris) is the distillation of pure villainy into one man. Dolores Abernathy (Evan Rachel Wood) is a provincial, beautiful and kind rancher’s daughter, who begins to discover that her entire idyllic existence is an elaborately constructed lie.
西部世界的主要玩家有：羅伯特•福特博士（安東尼•霍普金斯飾演），他是《西部世界》的創始人，創意總監和首席程序員，他是一位沉默寡言的天才，性情複雜難以揣測，對於樂園有自己堅定不移的目標。“黑衣人”（艾德•哈里斯飾演）是集萬惡於一身的角色，多蘿西•艾本納西（埃文•蕾切爾•伍德飾演）是一位淳樸、好心又漂亮的農場主女兒，她開始意識到自己田園般的生活完全是一場編織出來的謊言。
Teddy Flood (James Marsden), a new arrival to a small frontier town, quickly proves both his charm and talent with a revolver. Beautiful, razor-sharp madam Maeve Millay (Thandie Newton) has a genius for reading people and a knack for survival, but her seen-it-all-before worldview is about to be challenged. Bernard Lowe (Jeffrey Wright) is the brilliant and quixotic head of the park’s Programming Division, whose keen observation of human nature provides him with boundless inspiration for his life’s work: creating artificial people.
泰迪•弗拉德（詹姆斯•馬斯登飾演）是這個邊陲小鎮上的過客，他很快用左輪手槍證明了自己的魅力和天賦。漂亮又犀利的麥伊芙•米萊夫人（譚蒂•紐頓飾演）是個神算子，深懷生存絕技，但“什麼世面沒見過”的她很快就要被挑戰了。伯納德•羅伊（傑弗裏•賴特飾演）是聰明又異想天開的樂園程序部門負責人，他對人性細緻入微的觀察是他源源不斷的靈感來源，投注於自己一生的事業：創造人造人。
Charlotte Hale (Tessa Thompson) is a mysterious and savvy provocateur with a unique perspective on Westworld. Theresa Cullen (Sidse Babett Knudsen), Westworld’s head of Quality Assurance, is responsible for keeping the park from sliding into unscripted chaos. A first-time visitor, William (Jimmi Simpson) is initially wary of the park’s more lascivious attractions, but slowly uncovers a deeper meaning.
夏洛特•黑爾（泰莎•湯普森）是一位神祕而精明的西部世界挑釁者，她對這個樂園有自己的想法，特蕾莎•庫倫（西德斯•巴比特•科努德森飾演）是西部世界的質管部總監，負責防止樂園脫繮。遊客威廉（吉米•辛普森飾演）第一次拜訪，他對這裏的淫穢景點已經有所警惕，但滿滿地他開始發掘更深一層的祕密。
Hector Escaton (Rodrigo Santoro), Westworld’s perennial “most wanted” bandit, subscribes to the theory that the West is a wild place, and the only way to survive is to embrace the role of predator. Elsie Hughes (Shannon Woodward), a sardonic rising star in the Behaviour Department, is charged with diagnosing the odd quirks of behaviour in the park’s hosts. Armistice (Ingrid Bolsø Berdal) is a savage fighter and brutal bandit, whose ruthlessness is surpassed only by her abiding loyalty to her fellow outlaws.
赫克託•艾斯卡杜（羅德里格•桑託羅飾演），西部世界最臭名昭著的土匪很符合西部的設定——在這樣一個狂野的地方，唯一的生存方法就是成爲捕獵者。行爲學部門的新星，言語刻薄的埃爾西•休斯（姍農•沃德華德飾演）鑽研園內“接待員”的可疑行爲，並作出診斷。阿彌斯蒂斯（英格麗德•波爾索•貝達爾）是一個殘忍的土匪，一個殘暴的鬥士，但她對同僚忠心耿耿，矢志不渝，比心狠手辣的程度更甚。
Logan (Ben Barnes) is a veteran guest whose hedonistic romp through the park is equally motivated by self-indulgence and a desire to help his friend, William. Lee Sizemore (Simon Quarterman) is the head of Narrative, whose storylines tantalise the guests, while his temperament grates on his colleagues. Clementine Pennyfeather (Angela Sarafyan), one of Westworld’s most popular attractions, is perfectly beguiling, by design.
羅根（本•巴恩斯飾演）是一個資深玩家，他的享樂之旅一方面有自我享受的私心，另一方面，是想要保護他的朋友，威廉。李•塞茲摩爾（西蒙•夸特曼飾演）是敘事部門的主管，他編寫故事來招攬遊客，但他的氣質卻讓同事們很心煩。克萊門特•佩尼非特（安吉拉•塞拉弗安飾演）則是西部世界最受歡迎的奇景，她的設定讓人意亂情迷。
Stubbs (Luke Hemsworth) is the no-nonsense head of Security, charged with monitoring host and human interactions and ensuring the safety of the guests. Lawrence (Clifton Collins, Jr.), a charming but lethal outlaw, has a knack for manoeuvring and negotiating the various criminal elements of Westworld.
斯塔布（盧克•海姆斯沃斯飾演）是安全部的厲害角色，他負責監控接待員和人類的互動，保障遊客的安全。勞倫斯（小克利夫頓•克林斯飾演）是一個魅力十足的危險分子，他詭計多端，擅長控制和協調西部世界的不同犯罪元素。
